There are a great number of promising titles due for release throughout 2009, and Sony claim that they are very confident that their Playstation 3 is going to lead the pack. Here are three games which look to support their claim;
#3: Infamous
This curious title comes from developers Sucker Punch, and is a platformer revolving around the power of electrical currents manifested through your main character, who has the nifty ability to control bolts of lightning. Some of the gameplay mechanics have been recycled from Sucker Punch's earlier platformers, like Sly Cooper, whilst adding a dark grit and realism to the storyline. This interesting title should be heading your way in time for some Summer gaming!
#2: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was something of a dark horse release for the PS3, but for those who saw through its flaws, it became something of a cult hit. This sequel looks to open the adventures of Nathan Drake up to the wider audience, mainly through bringing back everything that made the original such a hit, whilst polishing the flaws and making the parts that were criticised into working functions. Check out our Uncharted 2 feature for more information on this title!
#1: God Of War III
The crunching combat and mythically steeped storyline of the God of war series has helped this franchise become one of the most popular gaming offerings of recent years. God of War 3 is the first to be released on a next gen platform and excitement is reaching fever pitch. All we know about this title so far is that it is due to take Kratos into an even darker and more dangerous storyline, with plenty of new weapons and skills with which our (anti)hero can destroy his enemies. Cross your fingers for a 2009 release, as this game is surely going to blow the minds of anyone smart enough to buy it!
